I used to be on RR. Followed over here and just lurked. I am usually looking for a new idea, or just some motivation sometimes.
In the industry for a year. Still have a long way to go.
BTW to whoever made it private to keep out the clowns

Yes you do. And you are the only one. This whole thing has been an elaborate scheme to get you to post something about yourself. We know how difficult it is to get you to tell us anything about yourself. We had a secret meeting and devised this ingenious scheme. Everyone one else on the board is in on it. All of the new members are fake, we just made them up to lend credence to the plot.

The secret meeting is still going on. In reality, the whole board is a plot to know more about Windy/Ronnie Dobbs. RegisteredRep is in on it as well. They actually made the other board the way it is in an effort to get to know more about Windy/Ronnie. Further, the RRMag personality on this site is actually David trying to find out more that is the greatness of Ronnie Dobbs/Windy. |

Hello
Six year veteran FA out in Los Angeles, but a midwestern guy at heart. Love to wax surfboards and watch Brett Favre throw touchdowns on Ron14's team.
I have my CFP but am a salesperson first. I believe in asset allocation and a good muni portfolio and focus my efforts more on gathering assets than picking stocks.
I would tell you my firm but I prefer if Biofreeze not call my company. ------------- “If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” -Winston Churchill |

| 14 year rep here, moving from buy-and-hold- asset allocation to a more tactical approach, along the lines of what Chief does. Â Also on the path to indy an have spoken with many of the b/d's recommended here, and a call to Fred is coming up next. I was on RR for a while under a different name, changed it here because it was somewhat traceable. |

Incognito...my approach is tactical also. As a matter of fact, that's LPL research's approach. See the thread about leaving your firm in the indy section. It's a work in progress, but has a lot of what I learned in my move five years ago.
...and for all of you concerned about Biofreeze, I think we, as a group are committed to keeping him out of here. If you think you see him post, point it out and I'm confident it will be checked out and banned as necessary. Until someone (troll or otherwise) posts, they are locked out of the rest of the forum, so you should be able to post more info about your situation elsewhere here, if you want. ------------- "Independence is like the Berlin Wall.
